About Auctionator

Auctionator needs a new developer!
If you are interested in taking over the development and
maintenance of Auctionator send a private message to Zirco.
Preference will be given to a developer with an established track record.

Auctionator makes the auction house easier to use, by presenting auction house listings clearly and succinctly, and by eliminating the tedium involved in posting and managing auctions.

Auctionator is designed for casual everyday auction house users.

To find out more about Auctionator head over to auctionatoraddon.com or, better yet, just download it and try it out!

If you're already a user and have a question, you might find the answer in the Auctionator FAQ.

If you find a bug, you can report it in the comments below. Remember, when reporting bugs, the more detail you provide, the more likely I am to actually look into your bug report.

Version 3.2.4

WoW 6.2 compatibility

Version 3.2.3

Fixed a few global variables to possibly reduce tainting

Increased max length of query sent to server to help with long names, especially Russian ones

Version 3.2.2

Armor and weapons items with different bonuses no longer group together in scans

Clicking on the AH button in armor or weapon crafting panels no longer does an exact match on the item being crafted

Version 3.2.1

Performance improvements in some situations when buying items

Fixed Slow Scan to update the scan database

Version 3.2.0

Set the FSC value to 50 by default

Fixed the bug where clicking the Options button wasn't opening the Auctionator options panel the first time

fixed a bug where the reported # of auctions created was off by 1 when cancelled part way through

no longer resets the duration to 12 hours when switching between tabs

implemented right-click on item in bag to load item to sell ala new built-in functionality on the Auctions tab

when cancelling multiple auctions of the same item only a single message now appears in chat rather than one for every item

Version 2.6.0

setting the duration works again (changes in patch 3.3.3 broke it)

fixed the cosmetic problem with background on the sell panel (another 3.3.3 problem)

Calls the updated API for creating multiple auctions. Hopefully will be faster and more robust.

fixed the bug where setting an undercut value to 0 would result in a LUA error

Version 2.5.9

Changed 'Cancel All Undercuts' to just require a single click. Now, instead of asking you for each auction that's undercut, you will only be asked once at the end of the 'Check for Undercuts scan.

Alt-clicking on undercut items (ones with a red X next to them) in the left-hand list on the More tab, will cancel that auction.

Updates to Spanish localization

Version 2.5.8

Added Spanish localization (thanks Elfindor!)

Fixed a bug that was causing the Create Auction button to incorrectly disable under certain circumstances

Tightened up the inter-addon communication

Version 2.5.7

Removed the version checking that occasionally caused the "who" window to appear.

Searching for an item in double quotes now does an exact match search. For instance "Cardinal Ruby" in double quotes will only return raw Cardinal Ruby auctions and not a summary of items with Cardinal Ruby in the name.

Version 2.5.6

Attempted to address the compatibility problems between Auctionator and Quick Auctions.

Version 2.5.5

Made a change to prevent the Friends frame (aka the "Who window") from popping up after a login or a reload UI.

Fixed a couple of infrequent bugs that caused LUA errors.

Version 2.5.4

Changed 'Check and Cancel Auctions' to now ask once for every auction to be cancelled. Blizzard made changes on their end that required this change.

Version 2.5.3

Updated for compatibility with patch 3.3

Version 2.5.2

Fixed the bug where the german localization wasn't displaying umlauts

Fixed a bug where button widths were improperly changed for non-english localizations

Fixed the bug where the square "Sell Button" in the upper left became inoperable after the first auction.

Version 2.4.1

Fixed the bug where Auctionator spams the chat after a full scan

Fixed the bug that was causing an error when opening the AH if "Default Auctionator Tab" was set to "none"

Cleaned up some code related to dragging items to the small square sell "button" in the upper left of the sell pane - not sure this'll fix the problems a few folks have been seeing.

Version 2.4.0

Sell panel now allows you to set the "per item" buyout price for a stack of items

Sell panel now allows you to set the number of auctions to create as well as the stack size without having to pop up a separate dialog window

Buy panel will now shows all items that match rather than just exact matches. So if you search on Scarlet Ruby you will see a summary of all the various cuts of Scarlet Ruby and their lowest prices. Clicking on any particular line in the buy summary, drills down to show the standard Auctionator summary for just that exact item.

Checking all your active auctions for undercuts can now be stopped.

When checking for your active auctions for undercuts, you may choose to automatically cancel any of your auctions that are not the lowest priced auctions.

Now uses the built-in vendor prices.

Version 2.3.7

Updated TOC so no longer considered "out-of-date"

Fixed bug that would report "You are not in a guild" for characters not in a guild

Version 2.3.6

The MORE tab can now be set as the default

Added Check for Undercuts feature. One click will scan all active auctions and indicate with an icon next to each whether you've been undercut for that item

Fixed a bug in Create Multiple Auctions that was keeping it from working correctly for users with one or more item-family-specific bags (eg. enchanting, herb, ...)

Fish feasts and other feasts are no longer listed as BOP in item tooltips

Added Swedish localization file (thanks HellManiac)

Added a console command to clear the full scan DB: /atr clear fullScanDB

Version 2.3.5

Works with patch 3.1

Version 2.2.8

Separate scanning databases for Horde/Alliance auction houses

Separate scanning databases for different realms (servers) if you have toons on more than one realm

Localization support for German (thanks Ckaotic) and Russian (thanks StingerSoft)

Fixed a bug that would sometimes leave a shadow over the UI after pressing escape

Fixed a bug where the Create Auction button was semi-permanently disabled if there was no info about a particular item being sold

Patched RecipeKnown and Lootlink if present so that they no longer cause system lockups after Full Scans

Relaxed the 15 items limit on Shopping Lists. Limit is now 50 items.

Fixed a bug that was preventing disenchant info from being displayed in locales other than English

Version 2.2.7

Now works with version 0.80 through 0.91 of Lilsparky's Workshop

Changed the undercutting to be based on the per item price rather than the stack price

Fixed the bug where a manually set buyout price was only used for the first auction when creating multiple auctions

Fixed a bug that was causing disconnects for Russian users

Added localization infrastructure - now I just need volunteers to provide translations

Fixed the bug that was changing the text color of the enemy castbar

Version 2.2.6

You can now buy more than one stack of a particular item at a time.

When you Create Multiple Auctions, if you change the stack size, Auctionator will remember and will default to that stack size the next time you Create Multiple Auctions for that item.

Auctionator can now be configured even if you're not at the AH. This is particularly helpful for configuring tooltips. To configure, just bring up the standard Interface dialog, click on the Addons tab and select Auctionator.

Fixed the minor bug where prices under the Other tab were being undercut

Fixed the bug with GetAuctionBuyout when passed a link

Fixed the bug with Automatically Resetting Duration. It should work now.

Fixed a bug that was very infrequently causing a LUA error

Version 2.2.5

Tooltips now (optionally) show estimated disenchanting value

Tooltips now (optionally) show what an item will disenchant into, along with probabilities and required enchanting skill level

Tooltips are now configurable.

BOP and Quest Items are recognized better and will not display "unknown" for auction pricing.

When creating multiple auctions you can now specify the stack size. You no longer have to "pre-split" a stack.

Version 2.2.2

Fixed the bug that was causing a LUA error to appear for new users who didn't have any PRICING HISTORY.

Fixed the bug that was causing errors for users using Tekkub's Panda mod

Fixed the bug where no auction was highlighted initially when selecting items on the MORE tab

Version 2.2.1

Fixed some bugs including some related to posting multiple auctions

Holding the shift key down when an item tooltip is showing, displays the vendor and auction prices for a stack rather than the per-item price

Moved the Buy confirmation dialog closer to the Buy button

Improved the memory footprint

Added support for Tekkub's APIs GetSellValue and GetAuctionPrice. Some of Tekkub's addons should now work with Auctionator.

Version 2.2.0

Added an option to display vendor and auction house pricing in item tooltips throughout the game

Added the ability to scan the auction house in order to create a database to use for tooltip pricing information and for occasions where there are no current auctions to use as a basis for pricing recommendations

I would like to see instructions on how to install this manually, not everyone using add-ons are seasoned computer techies or experienced players on Wow. Not including install instructions is like assuming everyone using add-ons knows how to install them with out using the curse client.

I would love to see a colaboration with Skillet and/or Advanced Tradeskill Window on adding the "AH" button to their windows. I hate having to disable those addons to use the ah button to search for mats of a recipe.
